What is a TMA/TMO?

Short for "Transportation Management Association" or "Transportation Management Organization", a TMA/TMO is a membership based, public-private partnership of businesses, institutions & municipalities that are joined together under a legal agreement for the purpose of providing and promoting transportation options for commuters that reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality.

Such associations’ operations may include: working closely with public agencies, employee transportation networks, shuttle operations, resource/legislative advocacy, commuter services and other Transportation Demand Management marketing programs. Each TMA differs in size and range of services and programs offered, as each one is designed specifically to serve the needs of commuters and businesses in a specific geography. As a result, TMAs often collaborate closely with local municipalities and other stakeholders who share the goal of improving local transportation access and economic vitality.
